Roz Bateman Smith

I hired Roz Bateman-Smith, Esq. for an extremely complicated and contentious divorce involving domestic violence/restraining order with a shared child/custody. She was extremely easy to communicate and work with and solidly reliable in my most troubling times. Her demeanor in a heated exchange in nothing short of composed and professional. One of the most important things to me is that I knew she truly cared about the safety of me and my children. After the divorce was finalized, I hired her once more. She represented me again in court after it was revealed my ex committed a horrible crime against a child. Once I knew I needed a lawyer she was the first and only lawyer I called! She helped prove that we needed even more protection in the form of strict supervised visitation, confidentiality of our location and a maximum term protective order. For the past two years, she's been invaluable and I will always be grateful for the role she played in the lives of me and my children.

Roz represented me in a very difficult case regarding a restraining order, child custody, and divorce. Amazing is an understatement; she gone above and beyond in every aspect. She was honest, compassionate, but most importantly VERY knowledgeable about how to address and tackle legal issues. She has brought me nothing short of success and I would recommend her to anyone. Loved her!!

Ms. Bateman-Smith did an EXCELLENT job! I am low income and she was part of a legal aid group that provided essential services to lower income folks. She took my case when no one else would, and she did it at a fair price! Start to finish, she was supportive, fair, and helpful. I would use her legal help again, for sure. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, you helped keep everything together when my life was falling apart. This was for a divorce and child support issue.

Roz has gone above and beyond for my son and I. Roz has been very practical and realistic in explaining what we hope to achieve and reiterating the possibility that things may not go the way we want, or that we will get everything that we ask for. Thanks to her hard work we have been granted everything we has asked for and then some. Going to court has been an overwhelming and sometimes frightening experience for me. I am so grateful to have found someone who truly cares about the welfare of my son and myself. Roz always responds in a timely manner and has even made extra calls to check in and see how we are faring with new arrangements made in court. I very highly recommend her.

We just love Roz she will do everything she can to help you. She is just a very caring person who understands where you are coming from.

We went to court unprepared. I received a restraining order, my new attorney said Roz would have filed a form it would have gotten dropped. She went to court with me and did not say anything and let court run it’s course. I agree with other reviews, you get what you pay for.

I recently had Mrs. Batemen as my lawyer, this was one of my worst experience ever. First she said things in court that were not true. Second after court she had been secretly amending an order for the OTHER parties!!!! I FIRMLY DO NOT RECOMMEND HER AS A FAMILY LAWYER THESE OUR OUR CHILDREN DO YOUR RESEARCH I SADLY DIDNT DO ENOUGH RESEARCH. YOU PAY FOR WHAT YOU GET.
